I want to make my GUI components aesthetically pleasing.
Is there any particular ratio I should use between a component's width and height that would make it look especially pleasing?
+11
A:
The golden ratio maybe? ;) It's been used in art and architecture for thousands of years.

Google chrome is pretty pleasing to look at. It seems like the latest trend is to use big, soft-looking buttons with cartoony icons. Also controls like text boxes, etc. should be large with rounded corners, and there shouldn't be too many of them.

This is very subjective - to me, Chrome is actually rather ugly! But to each their own.

Very true... I happen to like Chrome, but I could see why someone wouldn't.
